The practice of yoga is a multi-faceted personal practice that can support and us throughout the highs and lows of life. One of the definitions of the word Yoga literally means “to yoke” or “to bring together." It constantly reminds us that we are inherently whole and complete - not just when we have the perfect job, the perfect body, the perfect partnership, the right clothes, etc. As we grow to understand our divine, true nature more fully, we learn to find peace in what is right now, as we are right now. Through practice, we become more loving, honest, and courageous in shedding old skins that hold us back from being of service and realizing the absolute love.

She has spent 15+ years integrating many facets and roots of the practice into her daily life. In her classes, you can expect anatomically sound alignment-based sequencing, relatable and applicable yogic philosophy, and chanting that aims to bridg the individual and collective consciousness.

Inspired by her teachers, Kelsey deeply respects the roots of yoga and eagerly shares this knowledge with anyone curious. Her down-to-earth approach seamlessly blends traditional wisdom with modern understanding to create a holistic and grounding experience for the yogis of the 21st century.
